When running the code

$.getJSON('http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/questions/4', function(data) { // Do some stuff here.... });

I get the error

Failed to load resource

Am I accessing this wrong?

I suspect your problem (as I commented) is XSS related.

Try using JSONP instead of raw JSON; we just added support for the jsonp parameter.

  • uh, i thought it would not be supported on v1.0 API (i remember a dev.meta post about that), good! Commented May 23, 2010 at 12:17
  • Sweet! Just what I needed. I suggest that the jsonp parameter be added to the global parameters list here stackapps.com/questions/1/api-documentation-and-help Commented May 27, 2010 at 19:52

As Kevin says, XSS. Try this instead:

$.getJSON("http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/stats?jsonp=?", function(data){ alert(data.statistics[0]['total_questions']); });
